Quote, unquote: Shutdowns as the natural order of things in magazines

"We’ll launch many more magazines, and if we have to shut one, it’s a natural evolution of the business. The industry attaches too much drama to a magazine shutdown. TV shows come and go, books come and go. But we only plan to add to the portfolio."

-- David Carey, the president of Hearst Magazines, quoted in a Q & A with Digiday.
